David calls his brooches “cartoonos roundos” because each piece tells a story similar to a cartoon panel in a newspaper. Punched from industrially painted aluminum sheets into 2” diameter circles, each piece begins with a sketch and is completed within two hours to keep the idea fresh and alive. Some brooches tell a clear story while others require words or symbols. David describes the story in words below:

"Looking outward or looking inward, the ventana provides the clear security of glass, single or double pane. We are insulated and isolated. Let's hope the views we perceive are reality rather than the wished for reality."
